Eventide Passage is the latest album by Tim Dwyer’s Off Land. Described as “the reflection of a night drive” and as “the emptiness and mystery that surrounds a vehicle when driving through the blackness,” Eventide Passage is music for travel (intro & extrospectively). Comprised of ten tracks mostly composed while actually traveling on planes, trains and automobiles, a sense of forward moving space is developed sonically providing warmth and security not unlike a safety belt in it’s most motherly nature. With the moving images viewed through windows sonified into their melodic & harmonic counterparts, Off Land has created a richly dense ambient album that pulses along with the heartbeat of our own ecology and civil engineering. With the added benefit of being mastered by Kris Weston (best known for his work as a member of The Orb), Off Land’s Eventide Passage is the perfect soundtrack for your future forward movements.

sky thing is john collins mccormick, an improviser and sound artist currently living in garrett, indiana whose performances and installations are built on improvisation utilizing the natural comings and goings of the people and the space as well as transducers and contact mics. his interest lies in percussive aspects of traditional instruments and extended performance techniques; the space in between improvisation and composition; and acoustic to electronic sound conversion.

john used prepared turntables, transducers, contact mics, modulators and various objects to create garbage strike, his first album for pan y rosas. the sound is something like a furnace roar and artificial cicadas with life happening in the background. metal singing. found objects vibrated with motors. phased sizzle.

Fresh smell of croc and happy easter bell ing-a-ling are left directly
behind ourselves and a new EP of Symbiostic stands immediately in
front of the door. Based on the motto: If you want more, then play vinyl!
we present our first release in black gold.

The Original Mix from Wolfgang Lohr (Berlin / Symbiostic, Zuckerton
Records) starts immediately and a classical Tech House Crowd Pleaser
climbs directly into the ears. Produced for the club jungle, a walking
bassline presents itself accompanied by melodic vocal shots, diverse
stabs and a driving shuffle groove… the whole monkey-gang shouts!
A pinch of Deep House for chilly summer nights scatters Oscar Berngruber
(Lübeck / Gardenhouse) into the primate nation. A varied contrast
with full groove, organ stabs, trumpet licks and an interesting evolution
in the arrangement stand out fresh!

Matthias Kick (Munich / Beatwax) convinces with his remix of a very
danceable funky house version. The heavy bassline grooves through the
track and all elements are driven back deep into the jungle to an ostinato!

Tinush (Dortmund / Ton liebt Klang) finally entertain the last conspecifics
of the urban jungle. With surprising breaks, french touched accordion
melodies, clubby minimal groove and an unconventional arrangement
a real masterpiece of evolution got extracted from the coconut!

All in all a round EP, which lurches from vine to vine through the various
genres of electronic dance music and guarantees one: no monkeys
standstill!
